SQLServlet

Features:

2. Establish a persistent connections to databases
3. Dynamically generate HTML-tables from the result-set
4. Create forms for inserts and updates

2. ODBC Driver or a pure JDBC driver for the your database

Install:
1. Unzip SQLServlet.zip
2. Copy all html-files to a webserver-(sub)directory
3. Copy SQLServlet.class to the servlet directory
4. Copy SQLServlet.properties to the servlet-property-directory (not accessible from the web)
5a. Edit the servlets property file and insert init-args (path to SQLServlet.properties)
   Example
   # servlet.properties in jrun:
   servlet.SQLServlet.args=properties=C:/Programme/Live Software/JRunIIS/properties/SQLServlet.properties
   servlet.SQLServletpro.args=properties=C:/Programme/Live Software/JRunIIS/properties/SQLServlet.properties

   # Servlet Init Parameters (Apache Jserv)
   servlet.SQLServlet.initArgs=properties=C:/Program Files/Apache JServ 1.1b3/servlets/SQLServlet.properties
   servlet.SQLServletpro.initArgs=properties=C:/Program Files/Apache JServ 1.1b3/servlets/SQLServlet.properties

5b. or specify the path to the properties in all HTML-File: (Example:)
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="p" VALUE="/kgo/WEB-INF/SQLServlet.properties">

6. Restart your webserver

<INPUT type="hidden" name="u" value="testTable">           testTable=update YourTable %set%

insert:
HTML:
<A HREF=/servlet/SQLServlet?p=/WEB-INF/SQLServlet.properties&c=testConnection1&q=testSelect2&i=testInsert1  >insert</A><BR>
Properties:
testInsert1=insert into PRODUCT %set%
testSelect2=select * from PRODUCT where 1 > 1
testConnection1=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver,jdbc:mysql://10.0.0.1/kgo,yourUsername,yourPassword
